It gives me the same 105-key layout I’m used to from a dozen year’s using the Apple Extended Keyboard and matching ‘boards from competitors.

That let you put your cursor in front of the letter you wanted to remove, hit the Del key, and remove one letter at a time.Īll these are gone on Apple’s USB keyboard, which is why I have a Macally iKey on my Blue & White G3 at work. With the new keyboard, you can still go home, but you can’t reach the end with a keystroke.īut I missed the forward delete key even more. Likewise, QuicKeys defaults to using the Home key to bring you to the top of a document and the End key to bring you to the end. Since it’s clearly labeled Print Screen, this was a logical assignment. As noted in The iMac Keyboard’s Missing Keys, this included F13-15, End, and Del (the “forward delete” key).Īmong QuicKeys users, F13 has long been the print key. This time we turn our attention to the USB keyboard introduced with the iMac.īefore Apple first shipped the iMac to dealers, I noticed that its shrunken keyboard didn’t just move keys around and reduce the size of some – it eliminated several keys present on every Apple Extended Keyboard since 1987. We’ve already named Apple’s round USB mouse a Road Apple. While these are the best all-around printers for Mac, there are dozens of fantastic models out there whether you're looking specifically for laser printers or AirPrint printers, there's something perfect for everyone.The iMac was a positively brilliant departure from conventional computer design, but the USB mouse and keyboard were less than brilliant departures from the norm. We can't forget to mention HP's Instant Ink program that saves you a ton of money when replacing your cartridges. Plus, it can also print from your iPhone without issue, thanks to AirPrint support. It's good enough at handling day-to-day printing, scanning, and copying. If you don't have the coin to shell out for our top choice, then the budget-friendly HP DeskJet 2732 is for you.

Instead, they use low-cost replacement bottles that are easily refillable – this is a huge convenience. Not only do you get a serviceable printer, but you also get one that is efficient with how it handles ink with its unique replacement system. Our choice for best Mac printer goes to the Epson EcoTank ET-3710 because of its great versatility. You can print on a variety of sizes (including envelopes) and in color or black-and-white. If you need a basic printer in your home for those rare occasions when you'd like to print out an application or a coupon for pizza, HP's OfficeJet is the perfect low-maintenance, low-cost option.
